About Garden & Nature
Long before the last frost has fully lifted, something stirs beneath the surface. Spring bulbs have spent the whole winter quietly waiting — storing energy, reading the cold — and when the soil temperature creeps just a few degrees warmer, they send up their first pale shoots. A drift of snowdrops, a row of yellow daffodils, a clump of deep-purple crocus: these are the garden's promise that color is coming back.
